Market Wire - Motorcyclists Spend Two and a Half Hours Searching Online for Bike Insurance Quotes
UK motorcyclists spend on average two and a half hours searching online for a motorcycle insurance quote, according to a survey by Swinton Bikes.
The poll of 1,200 Swinton Bike customers, found that motorcyclists spent more time online in 2009 looking for motorcycle insurance, than they did during 2008. In 2008, drivers spent on average just one and a half hours looking for an insurance policy. Swinton is attributing the increased time spent searching for a quote on financial pressures caused by last year’s recession.
Anthony Aronin, Head of Swinton Bikes, one of the UK’s leading providers of bike insurance said: “The increased use and availability of the internet has had a massive impact on the insurance industry. Motorcyclists can now get a quote anytime, anywhere and in a short amount of time.
“Despite the huge demand for motorbike insurance quotes online, many of our customers still enjoy the benefits of being able to speak to one of our advisors in our specialist bike call centre. Last year we saw UK bikers spending more time searching for the best price, which was most likely due to the economic climate.”
